I was wondering about surgery for Crohn's disease until I read the theory from pjaye. In my mind, it's the one speculation that explains the desire for such privacy especially since Charles has been transparent about his own procedure. Generally people dont want to talk about their bowels either. |

pjaye's theory does seem to hold some water, too. Well, whatever, the answer, I wish her good health.

Not trying to censure anyone. Just wondering why the consent of the woman asking not to be speculated about doesn’t matter. Apparently prostrate is valid and abdominal is not. And it has nothing to do with male vs female 🙄🤷♀️

There is no such thing as "consent to be speculated about" It's not something anyone can give or not give consent to.
Catherine is a well known member of a very public family, she isn't a dictator in a dystopian regime that controls what people are allowed to think & talk about.
Lots of famous people "ask for privacy" but that does not stop ordinary people (by that I mean people not in the media) from talking about them and wondering what happened...nor should it.

I'm pretty sure that 'asking for privacy' refers to the media, the press, not a group of women on a message board since she'll never know if we are discussing her or not. It won't cause her any upset or distress as she won't see it or read it or have it reported to her. |

There's been a ton of speculation on X that Kate either tried to harm herself, Will had an "incandescent rage" incident (thanks to Harry for that description) and beat her senseless to the point where she needed massive surgery (including plastic surgery to repair her face) and the Middletons are working on the divorce settlement, or that the surgery went horribly wrong and she's either in a coma or dead. It's vile and disgusting.
The NY Times had an article yesterday saying the Palace has confirmed she is recuperating at home, but those X trolls are relentless. They want to know why there have been no pictures released of Kate recuperating or thanking well wishers (like Charles did with the picture of him with the get well card). They also claim the children haven’t been spotted in weeks either.
Of course, a big chunk of those people appear to be huge H/M stans, but I digress.
No wonder why she asked for privacy.

So where the heck is Kate? So what if she does have some 'big 'ol Royal titties'? Good for her if thats what she wants. I mean, personally, I don't think she needs big boobs on her small frame, but whatever makes her happy. And lets not forget, when Kate did go on the steps right about she had a baby, she was criticized and compared to a zoo animal on parade -- so I would not be surprised that she decided to not go the publicity route again. I know I wouldn't. |

So where the heck is Kate? Recuperating at home like we were told would happen. Easter is just around the corner, I am sure the press will be RABID when she makes her first appearance. I don't envy her at all. There's been a ton of speculation on X that Kate either tried to harm herself, Will had an "incandescent rage" incident (thanks to Harry for that description) and beat her senseless to the point where she needed massive surgery (including plastic surgery to repair her face) and the Middletons are working on the divorce settlement, or that the surgery went horribly wrong and she's either in a coma or dead.

They also claim the children haven’t been spotted in weeks either. Of course, a big chunk of those people appear to be huge H/M stans, but I digress. No wonder why she asked for privacy. that is horribly disgusting. I haven't seen any of that. I did see People magazine put out a story on where is Kate, and I didnt even click. She's at home, there's no news IMO. What I have seen are stories about Pr. William tho. He "made a last minute decision" to attend the BAFTA's, which is the British version of the Oscars (from what I can tell). One of the creaters I follow on TT was like, "as the head of the BAFTA's, all he had to do was show up, he had 1 year to watch these movies... and he basically admitted he hadn't". I guess he made comments to one of the film stars about how much fun it must have been to make the movie... only the movie had some sort of sexual assult or something, so the looks on the actresses faces (and one of them is the girl from The Bear) was like "WTF" - and I heard that he did this so he would have good press bc his brother was in Canada for the Invicitus Games, getting good press. He also pulled out last minute for the service remembering King? Constantine, he was Pr William's godfather. It was so abrupt - they cited family issues I think - that the son of Constantine had to fill in where William was supposed to do a reading, his name was in the program. It does make you wonder, what could have caused him to pull out so abruptly? Its not like he's like you and me and has to drop everything to run and pick up the kids from school, or cook dinner or laundry. There are rumblings that he is really not pulling his weight, and I wonder that when Katherine gets back, it will be a lot of pressure on them to show up and "do their job". |

I follow Matta of Fact on TikTok and IG. I like her perspective on royal happenings and her take on this is that this is exactly what we should expect from Kate/the RF. Not that it's the correct way to handle things, but their norm.

Bridget in MD I wonder about Prince William as well. That was super weird he dropped out of giving his remarks at the memorial service. I wondered if it was because of Thomas Kingstons death - but Prince Michael was at the memorial so you'd think William would be as well. Im curious, but accept we will probably never know.

It was stated that it wasn't connected to Lady Gabriella's husband passing away and clearly they was not going to give any information beyond a 'personal matter' so we'll just have to assume he had a good reason and move on.

I was shocked to see them there as well, esp since surely they must have known that he had passed, I think it was the day before? I would have expected them to not be there either. |

All I have to add is that I am so glad I am not a person of interest and that I can lead a quiet life. No one is going to critique every move I do or do not make. Every word. What I wear. How I recover from surgery. What I show up to.
I got off easy.

I don't really buy into the conspiracy theories but I do think it's a bit strange that William issued a statement about the situation in the Middle East on his own, and not jointly with Kate. It also seems slightly unusual to me that there was no hospital discharge photo, given that seems pretty common with the royals.

He died on Sunday night and the service was Tuesday…maybe by then they decided there was no actual reason for him not to attend and let people down. His daughter would have been with people close to her I assume. Was Princess Michael there too? |

I admit I laughed when I saw the posts about her length of recuperation is about the same length of time it takes to grow out bangs/fringe, but the things above are disgusting. |

I assume Lady Gabriella was with her MIL and SIL's or perhaps her brother and his wife. Or even close friends. |

How I recover from surgery. What I show up to. I got off easy. I agree. I would hate having my every move watched and reported on. I mean.....it's nobody else's business that I am at Hobby Lobby, again...or that I am having pajama day, again.   Some surgeries and recoveries take time. Surgery and sickness recovery isn't pretty (when I had covid a couple years ago, I didn't shower for a several days because I simply didn't have the energy and strength to do so.....I'm sure I look gross and raggedy, but I was feeling to poorly to care. I certainly wouldn't want any photos or video shared of me looking my worst. If Her Royal Highness is looking anything less than perfect....image what the press and general public will say and spin that into. It was initially reported that she would be back after Easter. The press and general public need to leave her alone and let her recover and recuperate....and stop speculating on where she is. |

I really feel like she may have had a bowel surgery related to Crohn's. I have some friends that deal with Crohn's and have had to have bowel resections and I wasn't sure they were going to recover. They were young and ravaged by that disorder. I was truly worried that it would not end well. It is heartbreaking. And the recovery was months and they did not have a lot of stamina going in to the surgery. And I say friends, because I know more than one person with Crohn's. I am shocked by how many it affects. I know of at least 5 people that have it. Friends and family. I wish her well, and some of the really nasty commenters should just STFU. <-- by that I mean in general like on TikTok or X, not here!  |

It also seems slightly unusual to me that there was no hospital discharge photo, given that seems pretty common with the royals. It's perfectly normal for him to make a statement without Kate so I wouldn't read anything into that. Likewise the discharge photos are normally of Royals looking reasonably well and happy and mainly surrounding births. I can only think of a handful, mainly of the previous Duke of Edinburgh, where he was pictured in the front of a car on discharge from hospital. If there was a planned, lengthy recuperation, she would hardly be coming out of hospital glammed up. Not only that, if she was looking less than her best and a photo was taken, it would have been plastered all over the internet before she could draw breath. Maybe they also wanted to protect the children from seeing that sort of thing to give them time to see her in person and be reassured by her presence. Who knows? shrug. |
